    Does anyone know how to read the damn thing? It looks like chaos to me but the part that worries me the most is where it says Graduated? NO
    wtf?? I have a diploma upstairs that says i did! Now not only am i nervous about my crappy grades from 10 years ago im freaking out about this not graduated thing. Im hoping thats not what it means, but would explain why i havent gotten a few jobs...

    If you went to multiple HS that might be the issue also I would get another copy from the school district office they are normally more updated and accurate

    I went to high school and a trade school at the same time. Is that the same? I called the school office and they sent me these papers that i just cant understand. Although it is pretty clear that my laziness did not put me at the top of my class.

    Contact the trade school and get transcripts from there it may be they are who you are considered a grad from

    that's weird, bendorbreak.  i would think that the trade school (I'm making a huge assumption here) had to be in some way affiliated with your high school, so they would be reported grades/credits back.  If you have a diploma, then I would contact the district office for your school and see what they say.

    You can also attach a photocopy of your diploma to your resume, and then if they do a check, they'll more than likely come back and as you to explain.
    Bite me, cupcake!

    Maybe bring them up to the school and ask if someone there could possibly explain it to you? Probably a long shot but maybe worth a try

    My HS lost my transcript for about a month, and I called them everyday to make sure they were looking. Take your diploma and your transcript with you when you talk to your student adviser at the college you're trying to attend. And don't be nervous about college. I started Fall 2011, and I absolutely love it, even though I was freaked when I first got started. Good luck, hun!
